hello all.
although this is my first post, i stumbled across this site over a year ago but had already started my adventure into wet shaving so didn't really engage! let me say, wet shaving has completely changed my life, no exaggeration!!! i used to have a face only a mother could love! years of abuse at the hands of mach threes and canned gunk had left me with a hypersensitive, red, inflammed, spotty, oily, dry, peeling face with boils of ingrown hairs, thought i had leprosy!!! spent a fortune on all manner of creams and potions to treat each individual problem! but the change since i started wet shaving has been unreal.
obviously spent another fortune, exploring this strange new world but have my routine down to the following:
merkur hd
feather blades
pre shave trumpers coral
proraso pre shave
taylors avodoco or proraso
post shave trumpers coral
it works quite well, face is normal looking, thank god but can't really go for bbs, or more than two passes but not really worried.
just wondered if any one had any suggestions for improvement or where i can get my hands on feather blades in th uk???? oh and have trumpers changed their creams lately cause the rose doesn't seem to be as good as i remember for two years ago!
